I remember when people were angry at Greenpeace for attempting to scale oil drilling platforms in the Arctic. So yeah.
Lots of people will spend all day arguing about what the right kind of protest is but much fewer people go out and do what they believe should be done
The right kind of protest seems to be the kind that doesn’t inconvience anybody.
Because if you get arrested then you lose your job and becomes national news.
the right way to protest is the one history tells us that works and mexico proved that it still does work in 2017.
the wrong way to protest is the way we've been conditioned to believe how protests work and exemplified by ineffectual examples like the "no kings" marches.
